On March 16, the Russian army invaded Volga Bulgaria, leading Hasan Khan to, with his army, mount a defence. The Bulgars used fighting camels in their military at this time. The city walls were breached by Russian firepower. However, according to the chronicler, the Russian forces were also under heavy assault and had to resist significant opposition. Once the walls were breached, the Bulgar army forces were quickly defeated. Many Bulgars fed into the city and hid behind the walls. Hassan Khan ordered a 5,000 ruble payment (2,000 to soldiers and 3,000 to princes and magistrates) in order to prevent further force against Volga Bulgaria and the Russian forces accepted. |

Muscovite–Volga Bulgars war of 1376 was organized by the Russian Prince Dmitry Donskoy of Moscow, and Dmitry Konstantinovich of Vladimir-Suzdal. The Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod combined army was led by the governor of Moscow, Dmitry Mikhailovich Bobrok Volynskyy, and sons Dmitry Suzdal Vasily and Ivan. Volga Bulgaria, which was at the time an ulus of the Golden Horde, was ruled by the emir Hassan Khan (in Russian chronicles - Assan) and Horde protege Muhammad Sultan (Sultan Mahmat).[1]
Background
Frequent raids perpetrated by the Mongol-Tatars on the Nizhny Novgorod land forced Nizhegorodsko-Suzdal Prince Dmitry Konstantinovich to, in 1364, refuse to label the great reign in favor of Dmitri Ivanovich of Moscow, applying for assistance from the latter. Certain outpost for these raids also served Bulgar Khanate.
